starting an Asia-Pacific Chapter of IAAO. Currently, IAAO has Representatives in a number of countries, but a new international Chapter outside of North-America will be a first. Stay tuned as details are discussed - IAAO leadership and committees will work on this idea in the fall at Leadership Days, a meeting of all IAAO committee participants, which Florida can proudly claim a number. Meeting our peers from other nations can be very rewarding, it is good to know that the issues and challenges we face day to day; valuing complex properties, explaining our roll in the world of taxation to the public we serve and working with other governmental agencies is not limited to Florida, or the United States but are the same the world over - we are part of a very large community of professionals.
